Weekend International Physicist Jobs (NOW HIRING)

The Division of Medical Physics at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, is seeking a board certified Medical Physicist to join our dynamic and growing team and help support our current clinical practice as we prepare to open the first in the nation Carbon-Ion Therapy Center.
Candidates will have a record of accomplishment that demonstrates clinical productivity in therapeutic medical physics, including clinical practice, project management and educational excellence. Experience in a proton or carbon center is not required.
Current equipment in the Department includes four Varian TrueBeam linacs, a Varian Edge for SRS, a Mobetron for IORT, three Siemens CT simulator with wide bore and 4D capability, a Elekta Flexitron HDR remote after loader, Eclipse, ARIA and a full complement of dosimetry and detector systems. Treatment procedures include all conventional radiation therapy plus specials that include IORT, TBI, TSET, HDR, SRS, SBRT, BH, and LDR eye plaques.
Construction of the new Radiation Oncology building and equipment installation of the particle therapy equipment has been completed.  The equipment includes the first Carbon Therapy system in North America, a 2-gantry proton facility, MR and CT simulators, and conventional photon linear accelerators.  Proton therapy starts in early 2027 and carbon in 2028. 
The Medical Physics Division currently has nineteen medical physicists and is still growing. The Division also includes a medical physics residency program. The Division is a seasoned and cohesive team responsible for all aspects of therapy physics in support of clinical practice, education and research in radiation oncology.
